    POZOLE VERDE - Delicious
    James W.

    Ordered the POZOLE VERDE via Door Dash. It was delicious and you get plenty. Came with cabbage, avocado, salsa, and crispy tortillas.

    Chicken and beef puffy tacos
    Ashley M.

    I finally tried this restaurant the other day with a friend and was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance is decent and the waiters were kind. I tried a lunch special with two puffy tacos and they were yummy! I've never had puffy tacos before and don't normally like corn tortillas, but I enjoyed these. The beans and rice were good, nothing too crazy good but not gross. Woot! My favorite part were the sopapillas with a honey drizzle. So good!!!! I've never had sopapillas either but will definitely get them in the future!! I also enjoyed trying their fresh tortillas with a little butter. The chips and salsa were good, a little spicy but I have low tolerance, so take that with a grain of salt.

    Seafood Enchiladas
    Nicholas M.

    This is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in a strip mall off NW Military. The staff was incredibly friendly and even held the door as I arrived. The food was very good. The chips and salsa were on par with other local restaurants. I also got the seafood enchiladas, which were a good price and pretty good. The one knock is that, while friendly, the service was quite slow.

    Supposed to be a chimichanga
    Matt G.

    Apparently. This is supposed to be a Mexican restaurant that doesn't quite understand "Mexican" food. I want to preface this with the staff we're so sweet. No marks off there. Drinks. Solid marks. Food. Oh dear. This was like going to an amusement park and all the rollercoasters were broken. Or stuck at the bottom. Cause that's where the food was. I ordered a chimichanga, rice, refried beans, and tortillas that had been sitting around since Caesar was assassinated. They literally stood on their own. Pics. It happened. Listening to Van Halen in Spanish was interesting. The "chicken" chimichanga was slightly lacking in "chicken". As evidenced in my photo, you could have done ophthalmic surgery easier than finding said chicken. Not sure what the sauce was but it could have been recycled dog sick for all I know. Couldn't even stomach it. The refried beans were diabolical and tasted like Vaseline. The rice was cold and dry. Pretty sure you could crush up the chips and use them as grout for your colorful new backsplash. This then. Not the best effort for a TEXAS "Mexican" restaurant. TEXAS!!!! Sadface.jpeg. Staff alone earns a rock solid 2 stars. And Spanish Van Halen.

    Beef Fajita taco was fire!!!
    Miguel A.

    Family Friendly place to hang out enjoy a nice casual dinner or a good hearty breakfast!!! Went there for the first time with some friends and had dinner!! Chips and queso was pretty ok. Salsa was amazing!! I shared the combo plate with Carne Guisada!! I think I cleaned the plate with the flour tortillas I had left. Beef fajita quesadilla was amazing!! Slapped some guacamole on it and oh my!! I had to go back the next morning! And try the menudo!! Flavor of it needed just a little more umf!! A little more temperature hot would have made it also!! Overall I ate the whole bowl!! Service was top notch and couldn't have been more attentive!! Enjoyed the experience and will definitely go back!!

    In at almost 1 pm for a late lunch. Nice they have a lunch menu with reduced prices. I ordered the lunch fajita plate. Seated immediately, drink and entree orders taken quickly. Nice and colorful inside with a good view out the large window. Metal utensils, paper napkins, and real plates. Latin music playing at a nice volume I'm the background. My food arrived quickly. Fajita meat was very tender and cut into small enough pieces to make two good tacos. Good portion size for lunch. I would recommend and come here again!

    Chicken caldo
    Rhonda V.

    This place offers great food at good prices! It's a wonderful place for a family get together, gathering of friends or just to enjoy a great meal. The service is very good and the staff are super friendly. We have been here quite a few times and tried different dinner options as well as breakfast and have never been disappointed. But I have to say, the best thing on their menu is the caldo, specifically the chicken caldo. It is hands down, the best in town! And the tortillas are homemade so how can you do better than that! Highly recommend this place!!

    Steak and eggs

    A great place to go. My favorite. Always accommodating. They serve breakfast till 3pm. Fantastic steak and eggs. Great service without a lot of noise. Their giant hamburger is a big winner and rarely ordered .

    This is the receipt of the ridiculous amount they charged me for a spoonful of gravy on my burrito

I decided to stay in the city longer to check out this place. This restaurant is huge and the wait was 45 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. We used our waiting time to stroll through the Mercado across the way. Once the table was ready, my friend got a text. I always wanted to try menudo every Mexican restaurant I go to. But not until I saw the sign on the back cover. This restaurant is under the same owner as Pico de Gallo. Omg. I just had their menudo the day before. No thanks. I decided to order fajita chicken salad. The portion was really small. The food only filled a half of the fried salad bowl. I asked to put cheese on the side. It may had it look more but I don't eat cheese as much. I was glad that dressing was on the side. Which was too salty for me. So, if the food was the same as other chain, we could have eaten there which was closer to the hotel. But I noticed the difference was the servers. Our waitress was cuter and very polite. My friends kept teasing her. She kept good manner and responded back with a smile "uhhh no". Hahaha.

The hostess was a little drab but as I was walked in to be seated, you could feel the upbeat mood. Note that if you're dining solo, they will push hard to seat you at a dark diner type counter to stare at the kitchen area even if you have a reservation, so don't give in unless you're starving and that's your last resort. The colorful decor hits you and you're transported. I ordered the "Mexican Dinner" with chicken enchilada, pork tamal, beef taco with beans and rice. Also had a side order of fresh handmade tortillas. Paloma to wash it all down. Everything tasted great. My server was excellent. Patient and helpful with recommendations. The mariachi band was fun and they roamed the restaurant and bar to play, so chances are that if they aren't singing at your table then they're nearby.

The biggest issue which is concerning is all of the birds flying from table to table and through the outside area during breakfast/brunch time of day. The staff does everything they can but it's impossible to keep birds away being outside. Leads to some concerns about the sanitation & cleanliness while birds are hanging out on half the empty tables and chairs. We could have moved inside and probably would if we visit again. The food was delicious and it is still a great place to try as long as your good with birds. My sister who joined us was a little leery of their presence the entire time.

I also have to give a special shout-out to the Carrajillo I ordered. It was such a delightful surprise - perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with a lovely citrusy kick that made it incredibly refreshing. Definitely a new favorite drink! We're already looking forward to our next visit to explore more of amazing menu. Just a little heads-up for anyone else, we realized on our way out that there's an extra parking lot right across the street if the main one fills up. Super handy to know!

It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
